Dear Victor Onifade

There are many topics and subjects that you can focus your studies on them but if you want to work the field of Structural Health Monitoring or Seismic Retrofitting I can help you to find your future research directions.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions.

Sincerely,

Hossein

Hi. You can begging with Geomaterials in Geotechnics

Hello

You can choose a topic that will contribute to your country.

First of all, you should decide on the sub-branches of Civil Engineering.

It can be the subject of new generation Building Materials in the field of materials,

It may be a matter of ground improvement in the geotechnic field,

Floods and floods may occur in the hydraulic area,

Regarding the structure, there may be earthquakes and their effects on the structure.

Victor Onifade, you seems to be interested in the construction of Civil works on the field rather than office related works. If that is your interest, then my advice to you is to visit construction sites, as this may guide you in your decision making.

The question is more, what can't you research? For example: The social implications of upgrading to electric cars - sounds more like a social experiment, and how it affects the person, so not really civil engineering.

However, the impact of upgrading to electrical cars on the infrastructure of a small town - [utility upgrades needed, road damage from weight, etc] - could be civil engineering. It's not the focus, it's how you phrase and attack the problem/research.

En todos los países la utilización de los recursos hídricos es vital para mejorar el nivel de vida y para generar focos de desarrollo y de trabajo de la población.

The are many topics in Civil Engineering field. In this time, the trend in construction field by used Recycled or waste materials as sustainable materials for economic and environmental consideration

Just do the research on post covid effect on trends in civil construction

Look inward and find your appeal to your academic appetite. Focus on what you have passion for and be persuaded with it

You can try reading articles regarding bamboo as building materials then find the gap that will find your interest whether its on properties, treatment or connection etc.

In my opinion, checking the special issue or call for paper sections of journals can help you in choosing a topic

In my opinion, select the topic for which you can collect factual data from construction sites. Topics such as safand ety audit, quality audit, GERT, Beeline Programming method (BDM), Ergonomics are good.

Here are three areas where an M.Eng (Civil) investigation may be valuable.

1. Systems building: Currently there is a crisis in housing supply and costs in Canada. System building approaches (aka manufactured housing) may provide a solution to this situation. These ideas have been around for sometime but this may be the time to revisit the past and investigate further innovations.

2. Green building construction also a current issue. Focus is on alternative "greener" materials and processes in construction.

3. Planning of urban/housing developments. Planning housing and other urban developments is complicated by a plethora of rules and regulations that cause delays and time consuming efforts to launch a project - resulting in major increases in project cost. This is subject has both political as well as technical aspect and may be a challenge as an M.Eng project. Good luck with whatever path you take. Phil Helwig C.E. (retired)

Good evening! It's great that you're pursuing a master's in Civil Engineering with a focus on construction. There are numerous interesting and challenging topics you can explore in this field. Here are some potential research areas:

Remember to choose a topic that aligns with your interests and has relevance to current industry needs. Additionally, consider consulting with your professors or industry professionals for guidance on selecting a research topic. Good luck with your master's research!

If you are interested in Construction aspect, and have a structural background, then you may work on the sequence of construction of special structures (such as bridges), and how do they behave under specific loading or limits, such as Extreme Event Limit State ... etc

Go through the comprehensive review on "Engineered Bamboo and Bamboo reinforced concrete elements as sustainable building materials: A review".

In this article, current research gaps and future research are suggested.
